Famous Grouse 40 Year Old
Lot number: 122-01372
Winning bid: £1,000
Created in 1896 by Mathew Gloag, it was initially called the Grouse Blend but the 'Famous' prefix was added in 1905 after the success of the brand. Owned by the Edrington Group, it is stablemates with Highland Park and Macallan and was awarded the Royal Warrant in 1984. The blenders still work by the same four fundamentals as they always have: foundation (sticking to the Gloag family traditions); finest (keeping up the high quality); flavour (creating aroma through maturation); and fusion (perfecting the ideal blend).
Created in partnership with Timorous Beastie, each comes with a silver stopper and is presented in a luxury wooden gift box. The blend of whiskies from four Sherry casks is described as having an “intensely fruity, fragrant and slightly spicy” flavour.
